O.K. I know This is going to be challenging but for my next project I will be recreating Demon's Drop at Cedar point. I know I am going to need help on this one, and if any of you have advice for the switchtrack at the top, I will probably need it. I will be using the ss car if anybody wanted to know.

im gonna say this quick...not a good idea. dude. i dont remember u even finishing one of u coasters. finish one before u start recreating things. especially that. that wont be easy.

[/\ero]

^I did finish one, check.

Good luck doing that with screamin serpent.

oh that's easy! I'll draw you a picture you cant tilt the car up like that but I know a way. one time I actually made a demon drop car.

I'll do it later. K?

I don't understand why you guys are harping on him so much. It's not a coaster, it's a flat ride. The mechanics may be a little difficult but the track should be easy. I would love to see a good Intamin 1st Gen. drop tower.

This sounds like an awesome ride to build. There's a much larger opporunity for creativity here.

O.K. construction will probably start tomorrow, since I am still taking down the Eagle(vid will be up soon). And I will wait for the pic from you TBM.
I can either do the ss car or try to make my own. What do you think? I know someone tried to do this but just didn't finish.

[Spitfire]

Alright! Good luck KC! Can't wait to see this begin. Also, I completely agree with Coastergeek. No idea why they're bashing on you.

Also, it's Demon Drop, not Demon's Drop. But eh, like that matters. Good luck!

I say definitely make your own car on the original coaster track. I once made a sick car with upstop and side friction wheels using 3 separate rails total. Only problem was trying to bend the track.

[/\ero]

^problem is that I don't have an original coaster just from the BABT

Edit: I guess you can't make a custum car with the ss track so I will have to use the ss car.

I started one a while ago, and still have blue prints from back then, as I was making a Stuntman's Freefall recreation. I eventually will get to it. Maybe when work is over.

It's challenging, trust me.

[/\ero]

pictures, is this good?

[christian]

Yeah, but may be a little tight. Good otherwise.

^It's only 1 car and it makes it perfectly it doesn't even effect it! Also how high should this be?

[the_burrito_master]

^ that's not exactly what I told you to do. you did get the picture I sent you didn't you?

[/\ero]

^yes I am not going to have string because I want it to be fully automatic:)

[DDRman732865]

Good luck doing that with screamin serpent.

That wasn't meant to bash you if you or anyone else thought that.

And I take it this isn't an exact recreation because on the real ride that is like an elevator, not a vertical lift.

But besides that it looks good.

[/\ero]

^No, I can't do that unless someone knows something I don't.

Edit: oooh I know what I can do.

[DeAzncy]

Awwwww, there used to be a coaster EXACTLY like demon's drop at SFMM, except it was called FREEFALL... people said it was the scariest ride at the park, no questions asked. but i think they tore it down .... *sigh*


anyway, the coaster looks okay so far, make the pullin a bit longer.
